Guy asks about what would happen if lattices and codes got broken.

After people panel outlines some non great but workable alternatives, asks about
#QKD. Immidiately gets shot down.

It's bullshit and all cryptographers know it!
#rwpqc
Panel discussion about the post quantum transition.

In general the term transition was mentioned a lot today.

I notice that I am very much more used to hearing it in a very different setting...

Just a heads-up that at the end of March there is a "crypto week" in Sofia, Bulgaria, with a ton of co-located cryptography-related events. I will also give a talk on Shufflecake at OSCW.

Shufflecake

Mélissa Rossi from the French ANSSI position on hybrids:
"ANSSI strongly recommends avoiding any drop-in replacement of pre-quantum with post-quantum. (exception: hash-based signatures)”
Recommending hybridization.
#RWPQC
Is there a Five Eyes-level agreement to not use hybrids? #RWPQC
Lessons learned from Vadim Lyubashevsky at #RWPQC: “Large [research] teams do not imply lots of people checked correctness”
People feel less accountable than if it's a smaller team. Really need a lot of outside checking. Outsiders have more incentives to find mistakes than group members.
